16-layers -- that's how many layers it takes to the hit the center of a 400GB Blu-ray disc, pops. That's 25GB per layer just like those dual-layer 50GB discs available for retail. Best of all, the technique used by Pioneer is expected to be backward compatible with existing Blu-ray gear since the specs and lenses required for pickup are identical. The prototype is read-only for the moment but R&D's on it so let's give them some time to work it out.

Update: Now that the English press release is out, it's less clear whether the new media -- whenever it might come to market -- will work in existing Blu-ray players or not. While "it is possible to maintain compatibility between the new 16-layer optical disc and the BD discs," players would seemingly require a modified optical pick-up mechanism to see the data. We'll learn more on July 13th when Pioneer discusses the breakthrough in detail.

I wonder how many movies will fit on it.

Maybe now Hideo Kojima will be happy? He'll re-release MGS4 with a bajillion extras and the graphics he's always wanted.

Good. I need something more reliable to backup my large volumes of porn. A dozen of those discs should do the job.

I have roughly 5TB on my server and I by far don't have everything.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Congratulations you managed to catch onto me trying to scue the conversation off the spam at the risk of appearing stupid.

More to the point. My player apparantly has a profile of 1.1. I read reviews and the like that go on about ''final'' standard 2.0 which apparantly my player will not manage to play. In this instance nothing was mentioned.

So

Indeed.
